With blinkx, you don't need to find the perfect combination of keywords. As you view a document or Web page, blinkx locates related pages, blogs, news feeds, products, local documents, and video feeds. You search these resources by entering a query locally or using the broadband-only visual search on the product Web site. Locally, blinkx indexes over 300 file formats as well as e-mail in Outlook, Outlook Express, and Eudora.
